If, lherefore, the v American Govern men't should think ,prbpet: to repeal the Embargo, that Repeal will be founded upon American grounds, and upon a. consideration of American interests solely, and not upon any, offer of compromise on the part of this Country, 'or any understanding,, either - dire6t or implied, to that eti - eO, between the two Go.;. vernnients.

The Appropriation Bill was read a third time and • pasted, - The Bin- for opening a . Ciinal in the City of Wash- trigton was passed. Mr. NrcuoJ,As, from the Committee 'of Exterior Relations, (Mr. G. W. CAMFBELL being sick) re ported " A Bill; . 1111 Curnmercial tercourse between the United States and Great Bri tain and France . and their dependencies, and for other purposes." The following is a summary of the provisions of the Bill. • All armed ships or vessels of Great Britain and France are interdialed from entering our ports, from the passing of the aa. Unarmed vessels are to be interdiele.d, from and after the day of next. Importations of'British and French goods, wares, and marchandize, are to cease atter the xuth of May next. If either Britain- or France shall,revoke the Or ders or Decrees violating our neutral rigliti, - the ope ration of the law as it respeas the power revoking,. should forthwith cease. • As it respeas all other countries, the Embargo ,is to be repealed on the 4th . 6f March. Vessels sailing after the removal of the Embargo, are to give 'bonds in double the amount of the Ves sel and cargo, not to violate the provisions of the Non-Intercourse Law. The Bill was made the Order of the Dv for Tuesday. The Bill has been reported much earlier than was expeaed. The 4th of March is certainly the day which has been finally. fixed on for the repeal of the Embargo. MONDAY, pEn. 13,, Mr. MrLigon presented a memorial of between three and - four thousand citizens 'of Philadelphia, praying for the repeal of the Embargo Laws. • Nothing of importance has been transaed' this day. To-morrow will be a day of great ekpeaa , . tion and interest. It is thought by some 'that the Non-intercourse Bilt will not pass.—ln that ease a Repeal of the Embargo will again be moved,uncon moiled with any other subjea„ The Editors of the Enquirer and Aurora,' have both interposed their veto against the Repeal of the Embargo, unleSs accompanied by a Declaration of War. It remains to b© seen whether this circumstance 'till create another "panic," to influence the deci. . mon of this momentous question.

JOUHNAL OF THE LATE. TRANSACTIONS, AT CAprz MINUTED.. DOWN ON THE SPOT BY.A .~ CADIZ, TUESDAY, FEB. e2.--:-Early in the Moiet inrof this -day, the people were ebseried in - great commotion. The Cause was their aversieti to the preposed.introdue - r,on of the corps of Pelee; SWisi, and 'ether foreigners (enlisted into the service of 'the Spanisli nation, from among the prisoners made at the capitulation of Baylen), into the town and fortifi cations of Cadiz. •The people had already gene so far as:to:take:up arms, • with the view Of resisting by force the entrance. of 'these foreigners; at the idea of 'which they, were the more exasperated, as it vas conceived. that it was intended to take away their arms from the Volunteers of Cadii, and to send them into other quarters as had, been proposed et Port St. Mary's also; -which theee*ere determined, to resist in very point.' . The firit ad .of Violence) was to stop a CoUrier charged with elisptiteliett ter the Marquis De Villel, from the Junta of Seville. As soon, as information of these proceedings was conveyed to the Commanding Officer of the British troops (Major-General Mackenzie), he Sent orders to: the. ships, •forbidding all officers who .Wee on board tecoMe on 'shore; and those who wete already I in the town; received direCtions not to iiiierfere in' any manner with the people. About one o'clock the Marquis de Villel was arrested, and was conveyed; . . towards the common jail, in order. to.be confined;' lnit:by. the interposition of Padre Meguer i a Ca.; puchin Friar, who possessed great influence, and'who undertook to produce his person if any proof of trea son should be found among WS papers, .or Other,: . wise discovered, so as toettfeet him, he was. indulged with being confined in the Convent of theCapuchins: About this time, in consequence of a.representa tion from the Governor, Don Felix-Jones, to the_' Commander of the British forces, stating, that it would tend ranch 'to the re-establishment of min , quility, if. a distinct 'assurance was given that thP • British took no part in the differences subsisting in the town; and in Compliance with a request , that . some Officers, who' could speak Spaniihi should be sent to give assurances to this effe6l, an Aid-de- Camp of the British General was sent, accornpanie.d by others who could speak the Spanish language ; and, in the presence of the Governor, of the prin cipal Capuchin Friars, and others who had most in fluencee a, distin& assurance was given, •I that the British troops would by no means- interferein any '. thing that related to the domestic and private con terns of, the people; 'but were ready, and deter mined, to' assist in. defending the town against the common enemy to the last extremity.". These iiiish• rances, when communicated. to the people at large, • .gave infinite saiisteClion. • About three o'clock on the same day (the 2(.4d) the people became again very tumultuous, from the idea that the town was betrayed, and that tneastirea were secretly arranged, by those at the head of af fairs, for putting it into the hands of the enemy; They declared that nothing should satisfy 'them on . this head then of- positive and explicit decleration from the English. themselves, on whose honoutand good .faith.they had the most perfed relianee, that • they would assist in' the defence against. the common , enemy. It, was requested particularly, that two. British Officers, one of them of the artillery, should be appointed to iuspeet the fertificatioeseia Cotti iOll With two Spanish Officers, • and to superintend and &reel the preparations ter defence. Two Officers, of the description deaired,waited accordingly on the Governor: by. the British Coin. mender's orders; and all . the Officere of the British Staff 'accompanied the Friars, who were - mostaetive and had Most influence in keeping tlie people within bounds, to a balcony, whence the Friars harrangued thepopulace,,giving.them every assurance. of the Coe operation of .the British forces, and the. support of the . British nation, and frequently appealing to the British Officers to Confirm, by their own:voice!), the .. pledges -given in . their name .and,, in their presence. This proceeding had the \ effe6l. of perfealy quieting; the people for this time. They dispersed, and r e . tired to their homes, amidst loud vivas in favour of George 111. and Ferdinand Vl.l. and the British antL Spanish nations. Besides the general suspicion of a design to betray the town by means of the introdutaion of foreign troops, the Marquis De s Villel had rendered himself personally suspected, by releasing several of the per" sons confined, on the ground.of being attached to the French interest. He was reported to have declared . that all others' who were confined for that cause, bad Only to go through the form of sending himet peti tion, to obtain the same indulgence. He had also interposed-very injudiciously in the, amusements of the people,• which being always marked with allu sions to the circumstances of the present time, ac claniatione to Ferdinand, to liberty andindependence, it was supposed. that his hostility was dire&ed against these acclamations of liberty ,and loyalty in pertieuliee The Marquis bad carried hit) interterence sr, tide point so tar-as to Confine some ladies in the House of Industry,, arid to threaten others with the save disgraceful punishment, and this outrage on respect able females rendered the people' so 'furious against him, that nothing—ha the veneration in. which the Capuchins use held could afford him security. About twelve this day, the populace proceeded to the castle of .Santa Catalina, and demanded The per son of metal C3rdifil, late second in commend of the Spanish troops employed . in Portugal, 014 another prisoner confined there, both of whom they 'meant to put In death; but by the interposition of Colonel Roche, who had just arrived 'from Seville, and another British officer, who both addreised them in Spanish, and impressed them with a St°lli . e Of the impropriety of- such violeitt etentluet, They desisted, Shortly ",after, however, arty seized Don j.,.t.cplt Herroda,.
